Deal Or No Deal
by Gordon Pepper
Air time: Check local listings
Host: Howie Mandel with Tameka Jacobs & Patricia Kara
On the Web:
www.dealornodealtv.com |
|
|
We have 44 people up on the stage!
Why? Because it's Newlywed Week on Deal or No Deal! The first
newlywed couple to join Howie on stage is...George and Linda
Robinson! They met online and have been married for 14 months.
They also have case #13, and they decide to keep it in hopes that
they can get enough money for a home.
In each round, the couple switches, so George starts it off. #1
(Chris / Susan) - $100,000. #22 (Devin / Sarah) - $10,000. #2
(Matt / Precious) - $200. #21 (Michelle / Jose) - $100. #8 (Sunny
/ Ariel) - $7,500. Not a great round, but the offer is $15,000. NO
DEAL! 5 to open.
George selected the first 5, so Linda selects the next 5. #15
(Sean / AJ) - $25,000. #4 (Parker / Jessica) - $75,000. #19 (Rita
/ Larry) - $1. #6 (Mike / Katie) - $50. #14 (Robin / Karl) -
PENNY! The top 2 cases are still in play, but there's a
considerable gap after that. Offer: $11,000. NO DEAL!
George is next up, and he has 4 cases to open. #17 (Joyanna /
Paul) - $1,000. #11 (Terrence / Gina) - $5,000. #20 (Michelle /
Todd) - $500. #12 (Jina / Christopher) - $50,000. Still have the
Top 2...and nothing else.
$5, $10, $25, $300, $400, $2,500, $250,000, $500,000
OFFER: $15,000. They have 2 big ones. They have to avoid opening
them. NO DEAL! 2 cases to open.
Linda's turn. #19 (Rose / Mark) - $300
#5 (Mekayla / Jerry) - $250,000. No more safety net.
$5, $10, $25, $400, $2,500, $500,000
OFFER: $19,000
Linda is the gambler of the group - and it's currently her turn.
NO DEAL! George can deal...if he survives the next round.
#3 (Danny / Keleigh) - $400
#7 (Dana / Tom) - $2,500 Bullet dodged
$5, $10, $25, $500,000
OFFER: $34,000
It's George's turn to decide. 'If $500,000 goes, we're going home
with 25 bucks.' 4 out of the 6 people left say Deal. 2 say no
deal. George says he wants to Deal, but Linda is trying to change
his mind. She won't succeed. DEAL for $34,000! Linda shoves him in
jest, but she would have gone on. Next case...$5 (Offer:
$120,000). Next case...$500,000 (which George would have
selected). Inside their case - $10, which gives them a sigh of
relief. They walk off with $34,000. We'll see tomorrow if anyone
can walk off with more. |

Apodaca (Terence,

Not there. Apodacas go to 76. Other answers: dance, sleep/lounge,
eat.
Double (5): something always
associated with Popeye. Sandi gets #2, Olive Oyl. Bennie gets #5,
Brutus (or Bluto). Monique gets the big one, spinach. Muscles is
also there. The Bushes try to get into the game with Swee'Pea...
Nope. Apodacas go to 258. Other answer: "Popeye Chicken".
Triple (4): an unusual place babies
are sometimes born. Monique fires with the car for number one.
Under water, at home, and in an elevator sweep to win, 537-0.
Fast Money: Terence and Trisha get
177 for another $885, giving them $20,885.

It's the Monday after the holidays,
which means that it's time to get back to work for the world and
for Michael, who defends today.
Michael Portnoy
Miami
teacher
$40,000, two days |
Victoria Harkavy
Potomac, MD
AmeriCorps service member |
Andrew Kasson
orig. Ocean, NJ
operations manager |
Michael starts with $200 Songs from
Musicals. Victoria is out to the early lead at the TV time out
with $4200 to Michael and Andrew's $1600 a piece.
Victoria finds the Daily Double
under $1000 Wood You or Woodn't You?. She makes it true on this:
to long for or yearn, it's from the Latin for "punishment". "What
is... pine?" Correct for $11,200! She currently dominates with
$12,000 to Michael's $4400. Andrew, with $2800, will start Double
Jeopardy!...
... with $400 Pigskin Legends.
Victoria finds the first Daily Double under $800 "El"-Way. She
bets only $1400 on this: there are books called these "of Style",
"of Editing" & "of Grammar". "What are the Elements?" Correct for
$16,200. Second goes unclaimed as Victoria just has a field day
with $20,200 to Michael's $12,400 and Andrew's $10,400.
Final Jeopardy! in "Characters in
Novels": Molly, the wife in this 1922 novel, represents a
modern-day Penelope. Correct response: what is "Ulysses"?
Everyone's right, but Victoria gets
the V with $24,900. Michael leaves with $42,000. |

AMERICA'S CAPTAIN
Christine Barger
Winamac, IN
theme park character |
Categories in round 1 are
Travel, Movies,
History, Celebs,
Whatever, and
Sports. After Christine freaks us out with her
ventriloquism skills, Doug gets her question, then History and
Sports to move on. Then Rhena gets History, Movies, and Whatever
to move on as well. The Studio leads, $1500 to $1300.
Between the two studio players,
America gets just one question in the Hot Pursuit Round, giving
them a $3500 to $1800 lead. Doug will get a chance to cash the
bank out, though, as he wins the round, 6 wedges to 4.
In the Head-to-Head:
- Sporting Events for $500
- Pixar Flicks for $1000
- Singers for $2000
- Mythology for $3000
- Government for $4000
- Authors for $5000
Doug gets Singers and Government,
so it will all come down to Authors for $5000. Here's Evan from
California: "What does the J stand for in 'Harry Potter' author JK
Rowling's name?" Joan... is wrong. It was Joanne, giving the
American team $11,300! |

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Air time: Check local listings
Host: Meredith Vieira

After 3 weeks of reruns, Afua Brown
(New York, NY) returns to continue her game. Last time, she
reached $16,000, and she has 3 lifelines remaining. And this week,
the Expert is Joel Stein, a columnist for Time Magazine!
A reminder of Afua's remaining categories...
Middle - Fun with Acronyms
Upper - Knights, John Grisham, U.S. Elections, Time Magazine,
Patently False
(After looking at the above, I think it would be really
interesting if Afua could get to the $500,000 question with Ask
the Expert still available...)
[$25,000] (Fun with Acronyms)
Which of these common acronyms has a first letter that represents
another acronym?
A: FEMA
B: LASIK
C: NASDAQ
D: GERD
Afua uses the Double Dip with 7 seconds left. Her first guess is
C... which is wrong. Her second guess is B with 2 seconds left...
and she has $25,000! (The L is for LASER.)
[$50,000] (Knights)
Sir Nils Olav, a "soldier" in Norway's elite King's Guard, was
knighted in 2008 despite what unusual fact about him?
A: He died in 1908
B: He is a fictional character
C: He is a large rock
D: He is a penguin
Having no clue, Afua asks the Expert. Joel has no idea, but he
does note that "soldier" is in quotes, meaning Olav might not be
an actual soldier. Joel then says he feels that B and D both seem
reasonable to him. It is a free guess, so Afua decides to guess
D... and though it may seem like a crazy answer, D is right!
[$100,000] (John Grisham)
Which of the following has never been the title of a novel by John
Grisham?
A: The Broker
B: The Partner
C: The Defendant
D: The Summons
Afua calls her boyfriend's brother, Nick, but he doesn't know. So,
Afua walks with $50,000! The answer, by the way, is C.
Darrel Fasano (Cape Coral, FL) - Construction worker
Menu:
Lower - Superheroes, Holiday Ditties, Tourist Traps, Shaq, Saucy!
Middle - Table for Two, Word of the Year, Pretty Woman, No Can Do,
Crack the Code
Upper - Credit Check, Surreal Paintings, Just Kidding!, It's Not
the Heat, Animal Lovers
Darrel sweeps the lower tier, then soon enough, he faces this...
[$4,000] (Word of the Year)
Of these "Word of the Year" winners chosen by the American Dialect
Society, which won most recently?
A: Chad
B: Metrosexual
C: Subprime
D: Y2K
Darrel asks the audience, but it's close between B (45%) and C
(43%). He then calls on the Expert, and Joel says that metrosexual
was coined by the New York Times before the subprime mortgage
crisis from 2007. So, he's leaning towards C, though he's not
positive, and he wouldn't blame Darrel for picking B. Darrel goes
with C... and it's C! He then gets to $8,000, and he'll be going
for $16,000 (and possibly more) tomorrow. |
